    Fantastic piece of architecture one that is simply breathtaking for the old mosque but the new mosque retains new architecture design but the old mosque showed the seeing characteristics of old civilization gone although there is a folk story about the mosque where locals say a huge amount of gold was hidden somewhere and can only be found by someone with a true heart of gold an adventure for those who feel the need to just be careful as locals can be very touchy when it comes to foreigners touching the building
